Director S.S. Rajamouli Hails ‘Kumbha’ Character on Actor’s Birthday

S.S. Rajamouli, the visionary filmmaker behind the project, took to his X account to salute the actor, writing, “Happy birthday, Pithvi. Today I didn’t want to awaken the ‘Kumbha’ inside you – the Kumbha whose destiny is to leave a mark on the world.”

Back in November, Rajamouli unveiled Pithvi’s first look as the ruthless villain, praising the performance as one of the most satisfying creative challenges of his career.
